I see the invisible labor you carry—
because I’ve lived it.
Tired of Feeling Guilty When You Say NO?
You’ve spent your whole life being the reliable one—the planner, the helper, the emotional safety net.
So when you’re exhausted or overwhelmed, saying yes feels automatic…even when it costs you.
Let’s be clear:
Saying no doesn’t make you mean.
It makes you someone who’s done abandoning themselves.
You just need the language—and the nervous system support—to stand firm without spiraling.
You Don't Have to be the Answer to Everyone Else's Needs
You know the feeling.
Your phone buzzes with a request and
your stomach drops. You want to say no,
but the words won't come. So you say yes,
again, and immediately regret it.
You're the one everyone calls when they
need something.
The backup plan.
The reliable one who "doesn't mind."
But you DO mind.
You're afraid of:
-
Seeming rude or selfish
-
Disappointing someone
-
The awkward silence after you decline
-
Having to justify why you can't (or don't want to)
So you say yes...when you're exhausted.
Yes, when your calendar is full.
Yes, when you haven't had a moment to yourself in weeks.
And then you lie awake grinding your teeth, replaying it, wishing you'd said no.
You don't have to feel regret saying yes.
You don't have to feel guilty for saying no.
You just need the words—and the confidence—to care for others without abandoning yourself.

Hi, I’m J the Therapist 👋
I’m a therapist for those who hold everything together—who handle the crises,
remember the details, anticipate everyone’s needs, and keep moving even when they
have nothing left to give. I help the ones who say yes before they check in with
themselves and who push past their limits because slowing down feels scary
and unfamiliar.
Using CBT, mindfulness, and intentional habit work, I help you unlearn the patterns that keep you overextended and unseen. Together, we build
boundaries, steadier rhythms, and a life where you’re no longer the last one on your own list.
My work gives you room to be honest without performing, to rest without guilt, and to rebuild a life that doesn’t run on overdrive. This is where you learn to put yourself back in the story—with clarity, compassion, and support you don’t have to earn.
